My wedding season kicked into full swing this year with Katie & Natalie’s June Ravenswood Event Center wedding. One of my favorite venues in Chicago, these two planned their celebration on all three floors! In short, that means a gorgeous, light-filled ceremony, an intimate cocktail hour, and dinner in the venue’s colorful showroom. This first […]

One gorgeous September evening, I met up with Stephanie and Jimmy downtown for their romantic Chicago engagement session. It happened to be Friday the 13th… AND a full moon. The superstitious population were just waiting for something to go wrong. Lucky for us, all signs pointed to a picture perfect engagement session! Jimmy loves Chicago […]

One lovely day in June, I was lucky enough to capture Lauren and Brit’s intimate Cheney Mansion wedding in Oak Park. Festivities were held on a Friday evening, instantly allowing for a more cozy, intimate feel. The couple got ready separately, and their gorgeous first look took place on the mansion’s outdoor garden path. One […]

Melanie & Brad’s Wisconsin Silver Spring Golf Club wedding was as lovely as could be. With thunderstorms in the forecast, we got lucky with one of the first gorgeous spring days this year! Sun was shining, flowers were in bloom, and these two could not have been happier in love. After planning this day for […]

Around this time last year, Katy and Justin began planning their surprise elopement. When I first heard from Katy, I knew we’d be a great fit! These two wanted something simple but fun for their wedding day, surrounded by their closest loved ones. I’m a sucker for non-traditional wedding choices, and eager to capture a […]

Catherine and Steven are some of the kindest, most wonderful people you will meet. Both of them so obviously head-over-heels for each other, they made my job a breeze! I’ll admit I had been eagerly anticipating this day since our quirky engagement session last summer (Skee-Ball and Bride of Chucky dolls?? Come ON!). Their intimate […]

Earlier this month, I was fortunate enough to spend an evening with Tiantian and John during their downtown Chicago engagement session. These two are as adorable as can be… and an absolutely stunning couple! Tiantian just so happens to be a professional model (surprised?? Me neither), and by the end of our session I was […]

It’s exciting any time I get to visit one of my couple’s homes (especially when they have fur babies!). This time was especially significant, since that’s where Alyssa & Larry got engaged! They wanted to celebrate their everyday lives together, so for their engagement session we spent the evening hanging out in their neighborhood. After […]

LeAnne & Jeff’s Friday the 13th wedding day was an absolute blast! When I first heard from LeAnne, I knew we were going to be a great fit. She described her and Jeff’s relationship with eloquence and detail – mentioning how he “had been shamelessly flirting” with her since they first met! She eventually agreed […]

Erica and Eric’s Lincoln Park engagement session took place on a beautiful evening earlier this month. We started outside of Cafe Brauer and made our way along the Nature Boardwalk down to the lake! These two often ride bikes through Lincoln Park, so we stopped at some familiar spots (and of course, the skyline!). We […]
